I have the task to clean up all the companies shared calendars. currently they are spread all over the show, from being setup in users mailboxes and shared to their colleagues, to setup in a central mailbox and shared out to whoever needs access to calendars, or setup under public folders.

My question is, what is the best way to approach individual shared calendars? what is the best method to set them up? (public folders, shared from a central account, etc etc)

All the calendars are basically used for staff to put in their leave details, when they're away out the office so their section knows etc etc

Cheers in advance!!

If the above in bold is all you need, there's no need to do it in Exchange. By doing ours in SharePoint Foundation (free), everyone simply adds the shared calendar(s) to their Outlook. They can add their own entries via Outlook or the SharePoint URL, or you can set it up so that only certain people can author the calendar, but everyone can see it.

We did the above a few years ago, and it's nice that it works regardless of Exchange. If we ripped out Exchange now, we'd still have the functionality.

If you want to do it the Exchange way, it's a bit more complicated. Basically, you can configure a mailbox with permissions granted to all of your users. Then, they would add their entries from Outlook.
